    I graduated Dartmouth College in 2007 as a double major in Government and History modified with Economics.  Today, I am a partner at Crowell & Moring, LLP, based (in a non-pandemic) in the firm's Washington, DC and London offices.  After college, I went straight through to law school, where I graduated with a dual degree: a JD from Stanford Law School and an MSc in International Relations from the London School of Economics.  After a very brief stint on now-Senator Blumenthal's first senate campaign after law school, I joined Crowell where I have remained ever since.

Kishida soon will stand at the helm of the incumbent LDP coalition, which has approached or won a two-thirds supermajority in the last three elections, countering opposition parties in the upcoming general election. Some might argue that even though a man, yet again, will become the next prime minister, there are signs that his successor, at long last, might be a woman.

    The once-strong alliance between South Korea and the U.S. is weakening. In fact, the alliance is in trouble — pulled apart by powerful geopolitical forces. The only way to save it might be for South Korea to move in a direction that much of Washington considers unthinkable: to develop an independent nuclear arsenal.
